A. Strict Pullups – 6 x 3 + :30 Strict HSPU

Perform a set of 3 pullups (scaling options below), then with no rest, immediately perform as many reps as possible in 3o seconds of strict HSPU. Rest between sets as needed. Try to increase the difficulty on the pullups compared to last week (e.g., heavier, more UB, slower negative, etc).

Options:

Weighted – heavy but doable and UB for the 6 sets
Strict – since there are less reps, try to do these more UB than the last two weeks
Strict Progression – NO jumping, kipping, etc. Slow and controlled concentric and eccentric (i.e., up and down) to build strength.
